Don't they have color photography in Sweden? (Not sure if going for the classic look is always the best approach)
That's true of every three month old baby nothing special because ehe's a princess.
@Snoopy!
It's grammatically okay (though one might expect in other contexts such as "Sweden readies for war") but whether factual that's another issue.
Personally I'm readying myself for indifference to it all.
Saab: Even you obviously care enough to stop and comment, if you don't care ignore it and move on and let us that do care enjoy it without your negative comments.
SecondGen: Fine something better to complain about. Seriously.
And nothing better for you to comment upon either. Ho hum.
Actually I check in on these "stories" to (a) find out how many people still fall for the concept of a royalty (the ultimate in nepotism) (b) stir the pot so that people like you can have an increase in blood pressure and rupture a plaque and (c) to cure insomnia. I mean, really... who cares about such nonsense except for the tax payers who fund them. Too bad we can't have term limits on this royalty stuff. After 8 years, it's on to some other "Royal" family.
Elin Nordegren anyone? (At least she can live off her labor, sort of... double entendre there!)

In England supposedly 80% of the population still want to retain the monarchy or so a survey published in the last few days suggests. As the Swedish royals were attending on Queen Elizabeth II's jubilee dinner on Saturday perhaps they want to take heart that some parts of the English still don't want to give on the notion just yet.
